I didn't realize this issue was part one of a three-issue arc. It's weird that this series has started having arcs, more frequently at least, but this arc isn't constructed like one. Each issue is self contained, but they're all very closely related. My goal when I started this re-read was to read "an arc per day," knowing that for a while that meant a single issue per day. I thought the arcs came a little bit later than this. It takes me about 30 minutes to read each issue, so a full arc like this one takes up a good chunk of time. Luckily, the writing and storytelling is getting more modern, but it's still going to be time consuming. For this specific issue, we get the reintroduction of John Jameson which is interesting, and we get Rhino's first appearance, who isn't very compelling. The rest of the issue is great.
